Hats Off to the Power Workers – Wave As You Drive By!

There is no question that we are hot and so very tired of this power outage! It’s just not fun anymore – the cold showers, the unbearable heat wave, the sweaty, grimy feel of everything you touch, the miserable fatigue that derives from sleep punctuated by being just plain too hot to sleep. Cooking on the grill was alright, until all the food in the fridge rotted and the freezer goo ran across the floor! And, fun has now been reduced to watching movies in the heat as long as your laptop battery holds out. But, no matter how hot and tired and miserable you are, take time to wave and appreciate the hard work of the power and tree crews who are doing their best to set things right once again. Some of them are far from home, others work in the heat all day and go back to their own powerless homes at night. So, while we can’t do anything else, LET’S WAVE and acknowledge the people who are putting everything back together for the rest of us.
